Cakehoe, I think you're on the right track. Taking your interpretation a bit further, I suggest that "JoJo" is probably Joseph Smith. Jumping the Utah train, wrestling with the lord, taking people's money, and most importantly "tried to keep your hat on a shelf." Since Joseph Smith supposedly covered his face with his hat in order to see the magic stones and thus decipher the golden tablets. The song's pretty cryptic but I think the song's perspective is from that of a non-Mormon, wondering how God will judge the Mormon leader's actions in the end.

I agree completely, what a genius song.
